Char-Lan DHS today (Oct. 17) hosted the annual 'Family of Schools' soccer tournament, for Grades 7 and 8. Here is a Facebook post of the Crusaders enjoying the day, where it's all about the fun, with no scores kept.

Jim Bancroft has withdrawn from the race for the Upper Canada District School Board trustee's post.

"Due to ongoing health issues, and after careful consideration with family and close friends, I have determined that it is in my personal best interest, as well as the residents of North and South Stormont and North and South Glengarry, that I withdraw my candidacy for the English Public School Board Trustee position. I feel it is important that the residents have an opportunity to review the remaining candidates prior to the election. I wish to thank all those who have supported my candidacy."

John Danaher and Marshall Wilson are trying to succeed Wendy MacPherson on the board.

Last week, Tagwi Intermediate School hosted the finals of the UC Cup volleyball tournament, for boys and girls from schools across the UCDSB. The girls tournament ran on Wednesday, followed by the boys competition Thursday, where the homecourt Warriors garnered bronze.

The next edition of The Glengarry News, to be published Jan. 31, will include photos and a story from the event, with full results.

The UC Cup (or Upper Canada Cup) is a sports event organized for schools in the Upper Canada District School Board. There are regional qualifier tournaments across the span of the board, followed by a final tournament in each of a range of sports. Glengarry District and Tagwi field teams for the UC Cup events, while Char-Lan does not, opting instead to focus on the non-competitive Family of Schools sports events.
